A DAILY MESSAGE
THE THINGS THAT WE NEVER TELL ! Thu things that we never tell about ourselves are the things most worth telling. The things that we never tell are the only things that would ever explain us to our friends. The things that we never tell are the things that really differentiate us from our fellows.
The things that we never tell are the most precious, intimate, wonderful things we know. The things we never tell are the sacred things written in our hearts. All tlie things we have ever really lived through, are written there —and they are the things we never tell. Deep in our hearts our dreams have left their exquisite tracings. Our loves have left their gold. Our sorrows have brushed the gold with, many shadows. And like a trail of radiant star-dust gleam the silver footprints ol ourfriendships—among the, tilings deep buried in our hearts—the thing that we never tell.
Then let us see to it that no things that we would be ashamed to tell creep in beside the sacred things that none of us ever tell.
—M. PRESTON STANLEY
